You misunderstood a simile. Get over yourself. It's no more complicated than that. I'm not calling you stupid. It's obvious that you're a little more than confrontational at the drop of a hat, but that doesn't make you stupid necessarily. I would suggest that you read the dictionary.com definition of the word 'simile':
Quote:
sim‧i‧le  /ˈsɪməli/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[sim-uh-lee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun
1. a figure of speech in which two unlike things are explicitly compared, as in “she is like a rose.” Compare metaphor.
2. an instance of such a figure of speech or a use of words exemplifying it.
I hope that makes it more clear. 'like' was used as a simile, and I think screwing your cousin is gross.

That's it.
